Garry im not a fan of the lights either
Me neither. It's not an Audi, I wouldn't want it to look like one.
I don't like the front clam vents either, personally I prefer the front fog lights.

I've got a pair of the Edel bumper vents in the garage that I was going to get fitted a year or two back. Bottled it in the end as it seemed to be a bad move to cut chunks out of a perfect original clam. Not sure they're a good idea either, given what happened to a certain members inner arch liner when he was moving at speed and it decided to part ways with the car. So fitting them, might require managing the air flow.
Edel's owner is a member on here and his username is Collin.
I really like them and as long as the air has somewhere to go (ie the brakes) then they can be a good idea.

I think they look great, but as said one for a crash repaired clam, put them in while repairing - chopping big holes in a perfect clam just seems wrong. Sure the air flow could be collected and sent to the brakes?
My clams been repaired once anyway

I've toyed with selling them, ever since I took delivery of them. But I'm going to keep hold of them until the inevitable happens and someone hits the front of the car, or I do something silly on track. I did actually start the process of mocking up some ducting to fit to them but as usual, ran out of patience/interest.Techie fancy offering even more help bys elling me them??
Drop Mike at Edel an email (ms@ms-edel-car-parts.de). He speaks and writes perfect English. Only slight downer was that the only payment they accepted was a bank transfer, which meant an additional cost from the bank. That was October 2008, so things might have progressed.

The Audiesque lights where a photoshop session as well from reading the thread the pics came from.

Matt, he now accepts paypal payments, makes things a bit easier.
